This article examines the difference made in computing when one school switched from a terminal with a telephone link to a computer, to a complete microprocessor system. (MK)

Advantages of computer based education are discussed and the application of computer resources for students with visual and hearing impairments, mental retardation, learning disabilities, and physical handicaps is described. (CL)

A master program to manage instruction and generate the necessary control cards was designed to both teach thinking skills and assist the teacher in assessing the student's thought processes. Twelve references are cited. (MER)

Reports the results of a Delphi survey of international experts on the future of telecommunications. Predicts new and expanding services that will be available over the next twenty years. Outlines space applications and advanced technology, regulatory and social issues, and institutional and economic issues which will characterize the field of…

Suggests approaches to teaching computer programing and applications to physics instruction. Indicates that the necessity of breaking a problem down into a programable entity ensures that the student will learn programing, logical sequential thinking, as well as physics content. (JN)

The simplicity of system design and productivity techniques used in development of an on-line management information system at Boston College is explained. The simplicity of system design means that all terminal transactions in the system are limited in function, small in size, uncomplicated, and easy to implement. (Author/MLW)

Presents an overview of computer based library networks, what they are and are not, and their advantages and disadvantages. (JEG)

A method for motivating programing techniques in a computer science class which uses alphametics, mathematical puzzles where words or phrases represent numerals or arithmetic operations, is given. (MK)

Describes a minicomputer software system for the administration of instructional programs combining interactive cable television and computer aided instruction for potentially large populations at relatively low cost. Both basic two-way cable television technology and the system developed by Michigan State University are discussed. (Author)

A description of a course for grades 4 to 8 using the Apple II microcomputer is given. (MK)

Describes a package of computer programs, Basic All-Purpose Learning Games (BALG), developed to blend entertainment with geography learning objectives. The games, however, are easily adapted to a wide range of subject matter and are appropriate for various educational levels. (Author/KC)

Discusses the results of a survey on process control education which was conducted in the United States and Canada in 1978. Process control courses and textbooks at the undergraduate and graduate level are included. (HM)

An elementary computer programing language designed to help the student resolve very basic and specific conceptual difficulties is described. The introduction and implementation of this language in an actual didactic situation is included. (Author/MK)

Presents preliminary findings of a mail survey to child care directors regarding child care administrative software packages. Found that slightly more than half use a child care administrative software package. Their overall experience appears to be relatively problem-free, in contrast to focus group findings reporting several complaints.…

Identifies weaknesses of conceptual modelling languages for the problem domain of information systems (IS) development. Outlines an approach called facet modelling of real-world problem domains to deal with the complexity of contemporary analysis problems. Shows how facet models can be defined and visualized; discusses facet modelling in relation…
